The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 247 The Opportunity Arrives

Just as Li Muxia was about to get up and go out to check the situation, Yu Ze came to Dongfang Jincheng's side and bowed.

Under Li Muxia's surprised gaze, he recounted what had happened outside.

Li Muxia was still wondering when this person had left.

Then Yuze said, "Master, it was the Wu family's carriage that hit someone."

When Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng heard about the Wu family, their eyebrows involuntarily rose. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy; they were just wondering where to start when the opportunity had come.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other in unison.

Dongfang Jincheng: "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

When Li Muxia and her group arrived at the door, the Wu family's carriage had already left the scene of the crime, leaving behind only an old man clutching his leg and crying out in pain, along with a group of onlookers.

Just as Li Muxia was about to step forward to check on the old man's injuries, a young man ran out from the crowd.

The young man ran straight towards the old man, carrying two medicine packets in his hands, shouting as he ran, "Dad, what's wrong?"

It seems to be the old man's son.

The young man carried the old man while checking on the old man's injured leg. The old man's clothes were torn, and blood from his leg had seeped into the clothes next to him.

Seeing his father injured like this, the young man angrily said, "Father, who hurt you? We're going to report it to the authorities."

When the old man heard that the young man was going to report to the authorities, he stopped crying out in pain, grabbed the young man, and said weakly, "Second brother, don't go, you can't go."

The young man was stunned when he heard his father's words, and then said angrily, "Dad, why can't we go? We can't let people bully us for nothing."

Before the old man could speak, a passerby said, "Young man, listen to your father. You really can't apply for this official position."

After saying that, he sighed and said, "What a tragedy."

Upon hearing this, the young man seemed to understand something, and said with a somewhat dejected expression, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you here alone."

After listening, the old man looked at the young man with red eyes and sighed, "Alright, second brother, carry me home."

Upon hearing this, the young man quickly said, "Let's go home, Dad. I'd better take you to the clinic first; your leg..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man interrupted, "We don't have any money left to go to the clinic. Let's go home."

The young man knew his father was right; they really didn't have the money to go to the clinic anymore. Thinking this, the young man looked even more dejected.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the onlookers shook their heads and left.

Li Muxia also understood something from the conversation just now. She glanced at Dongfang Jincheng beside her, and their eyes met.

Dongfang Jincheng understood Li Muxia's meaning at a glance; his gaze was too obvious, as if asking, "Your Highness Prince Rui, are you not going to do anything about this?"

Dongfang Jincheng smiled helplessly to himself, and gave Li Muxia a firm look in return: "I'll take care of it."

Li Muxia received the signal from the other party and felt relieved. She then walked over to the father and son.

He stopped the young man from carrying the old man on his back and said, "Young man, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, the young man looked at Li Muxia in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What a handsome young man."

However, the blush on his face betrayed his true feelings.

"Young master, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Muxia tried her best to appear friendly, and said to the young man with a smile, "Young man, my surname is Xia, and I am a traveling doctor. If you don't mind, I can take a look at this old man's injuries."

Hearing Li Muxia's words, the young man looked her up and down again, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a doctor?"

Li Muxia nodded: "Exactly."

The young man didn't think Li Muxia was lying. He also noticed that Hong'er behind Li Muxia was carrying a box, which was much smaller than the medicine box the old doctor had carried before. But when he heard Li Muxia say that she was a doctor, he automatically associated the box with the medicine box.

"But I have no money." The young man lowered his head as he said this, his tone filled with humility and helplessness.

Li Muxia smiled faintly and said, "I am here on my master's orders to gain experience, so I don't need any money. This is a free medical consultation."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, the young man suddenly looked up at her, a glint in his eyes.

He's at his wit's end. He's already spent almost all of his family's savings on his mother's medical treatment, but if his father's leg isn't treated in time, it might become unusable.

Seeing the hope rekindled in the young man's eyes, Li Muxia smiled and said, "Alright, let me take a look at the old man's legs now."

The young man quickly made way for him, supporting his father's arm as he said, "Dr. Xia, please."

The old man was also a little incredulous. While Li Muxia was examining his leg, he endured the pain and asked, "Dr. Xia, are you really not going to charge us?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia checked the old man's leg and said, "Don't worry, sir, I won't charge you."

Hearing this, the old man felt relieved and said to the young man, "Second brother, we've met some good people today."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia didn't say much, but carefully examined the old man's injuries.

Hong'er also knelt down in front of Li Muxia, assisting her.

Hong'er and Cui'er had gone through the epidemic with Li Muxia and had developed a tacit understanding in their cooperation. So, Li Muxia didn't need to say anything; as soon as she reached out, Hong'er knew what Li Muxia wanted.

Li Muxia took the scissors handed to her by Hong'er, carefully cut open the old man's trouser leg, and then gently wiped the bloodstains off the old man's leg with alcohol.

The moment the alcohol touched the wound, the old man gasped in pain, his hand instinctively gripping the young man's arm tightly, accidentally pinching the young man's flesh. The young man hissed in pain as well.

Li Muxia looked up at the two of them and explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is disinfectant alcohol. It will sting a little when it comes into contact with the wound, but it can kill the bacteria around the wound and prevent infection. It will heal quickly, please bear with it."

Although the old man and the young man didn't understand the terms "bacteria" and "infection," they knew in their hearts that this thing must be good.

The old man nodded, enduring the pain, and said, "Dr. Xia, please continue. I can bear it."

The young man looked at the old man with a pained expression, letting his father pinch his flesh.

Seeing the two of them, Li Muxia softened her movements.
